If u love gooey chocolate richness then these are for you. 4 layers of brownie, cheesecake, chocolate chip, marshmallow, & nut, and a yummy chocolate frosting swirled with the melted mallows to finish it off.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9"x12"x2" baking pan by spraying with Pam. You can also line the pan with foil or parchment for easy removal and cutting them into squares. If you 1 1/2 times the recipe, it fits in an 11"X15"X2" pan. If you double it use a 1/2 sheet pan 12"X18"X2" Be sure to use a 2" deep pan bcuz these are a thick brownie with 4 layers of yumminess.
  • 2. 1st Layer: In a medium saucepan, melt butter & chocolate together on low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, vanilla, eggs, and walnuts. Stir until well blended. Spread evenly in the bottom of prepared pan.
  • 3. 2nd Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened creamed cheese (reserve 2 oz of the 8 oz block for the frosting) with the butter, sugar, egg, 2 Tbl flour, & vanilla. Beat until well mixed and spread carefully over the 1st layer of brownie batter.
  • 4. 3rd layer: Sprinkle 1/3 cups walnuts and 1 cup chocolate chips evenly over cheesecake layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, less if u like gooey & more if u like them firmer. While these are baking, make the frosting. When baking time is up, sprinkle top with the mini marshmallows and bake for an additional 2 minutes or until they are melted.
  • 5. 4th Layer, The Frosting: In a medium saucepan, melt together 1/4 cup butter, 1-1oz sq chocolate, salt, whisk in remaining 2 oz creamed cheese & 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in 3 cups powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
  • 6. Immediatly after removing brownies from oven spread frosting evenly over melted marshmallows and swirl chocolate frosting with the marshmallow so it's marbled together. Cool to room temp and then refrigerate for several hours before cutting into bars. Enjoy these "Bitchin Brownies"
  • 7. *Note* If you have no unsweetened chocolate blocks, add 3 TBL unsweetened cocoa and 1 TBL butter for each ounce of chocolate used.

These bars were delicious, but they were a bit too rich for me. I think I would use less butter next time.

These fudge bars were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use more flour next time.
